Twilight

Small Indiana towns are charmed at twilight...there are still lazy bike riders meandering toward home...a few gardeners putting away their tools and gloves for the evening..and the cocaphony of the last of the bird songs. Venus is still bright in the night sky and shimmers over my neighbor's tall pine. As Robert Browning said, "All's right with the world." Pippa Passes

Whether we cherish it or not, periodically in our lives, we would require to carry out term papers and other written activity. It is explicitly not clear but very affecting to construct a research about "Mayer Stefani". To do that, you need to read a lot of articles and books, or you can just order some kind of work and then use plagiarism detect made by http://www.plagiarismsearch.com and save your time like some quick help with the American Dream.

Storyteller's Journal

Dear Folks,

Welcome to my world of storytelling, writing, and as you can see, dreamer of dreams. My storytelling has taken me to all sorts of locations around the country and in a few other countries. I have shows suitable for all ages and interests.

I do programs for teachers, for poets, for students, and for all who love the sound of language and words. I also am a Fringe Festival artist!

I also am a faculty member of Trine University where I teach writing and speech. I am a columnist for our local paper, The Herald Republican. My columns appear on Saturday and have been featured for nine years!

I am a traveler, a hobo, a drifter, a gatherer of tales, and a one-woman show. Thanks for taking the time to take a look. I would love to talk with you, share emails and blogs or even share a cup of tea in my lovely old house. Above all, I would love to share stories with you.

About Me

My hometown is Angola, Indiana with time spent on Ocracoke Island as well!

I am a storyteller, a theater coach, an actress, and a writer. When I am not traveling and gathering stories, you can find me writing late into the evening under the light of my old scarlet, frayed lamp. I am a believer in small towns in America and the blog is written to bring focus to them and to save them!
I also garden and am deeply aware of the environment and the issues. Please visit my blog often to share with me short stories that just happen, recipes, gardening, environmental preservation, books, photography and family, of course!

Gardening Tips for those in northern climates.

I notice I have been filling my baskets at Rural King with spring flowering bulbs...not that I need any more! It is just that I love planting the spring bulbs as much as I love having them bloom in the spring. I am also working on the flower beds with leftover weeding from the summer months. In my spare time I am trying to paint the white picket fence. Where is Tom Sawyer when I need him?
